Moved to news, unless you also care to contemplate if Bernie Madoff is an indictment of Judaism...
(I don't mind...this pattern, though, isn't simply about Lds perpetrators...many of these victims are Lds because they were trusting a fellow church member...so if there were a number of Bernie Madoffs starting to make the news at about a monthly rate -- and most of the victims were those met in synagogues...then yes, I'd say there was definitely a religious dimension to that...wouldn't you?)
